Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device with a top contact, such as a vertical thin film light emitting device.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- RCLEDs resonant cavity light emitting diodes
- VCSELs vertical cavity laser diodes
- edge emitting lasers are among the most efficient light sources currently available.
- Materials systems currently of interest in the manufacture of high-brightness light emitting devices capable of operation across the visible spectrum include Group III-V semiconductors, particularly binary, ternary, and quaternary alloys of gallium, aluminum, indium, and nitrogen, also referred to as Ill-nitride materials.
- Ill-nitride light emitting devices are fabricated by epitaxially growing a stack of semiconductor layers of different
- MOCVD metal-organic chemical vapor deposition
- MBE molecular beam epitaxy
- the stack often includes one or more n-type layers doped with, for example, Si, formed over the substrate, one or more light emitting layers in an active region formed over the n-type layer or layers, and one or more p-type layers doped with, for example, Mg, formed over the active region. Electrical contacts are formed on the n- and p-type regions.
- Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor structure including a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region.
- a metal busbar is disposed on the semiconductor structure.
- a first portion of the metal busbar is in direct contact with the semiconductor structure.
- a reflector is disposed between a second portion of the metal busbar and the semiconductor structure.
- a current blocking structure prevents current from being injected in the light emitting layer in a region below the first portion.

- Figs. 13 and 14 are plan views of the bottom surfaces of bonding pads.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of a vertical thin film (VTF) device 10.
- VTF vertical thin film
- contacts are formed on the top and bottom of the semiconductor structure of the device.
- the bottom contact may be a reflective sheet contact that covers the entire bottom of the semiconductor structure.
- metal busbars 14 are formed, spaced at approximately twice the current spreading length in the semiconductor material on which the busbars are formed.
- Metal busbars are connected to one or more bonding pads 16, which are used to electrically connect the device to another structure.
- Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of a portion of the device 10 shown in Fig. 1 including a metal busbar 14.
- the semiconductor structure 15 includes an n-type region 18, a light emitting or active region 20, and a p-type region 22.
- the semiconductor structure 15 may be III- nitride material.
- Active region 20 may emit UV, visible, or blue light.
- the n-type region 18 is shown in contact with busbar 14 and the p-type region 22 is shown in contact with sheet contact 24, in some embodiments, the n- and p-type regions may be reversed such that the p-type region 22 is in contact with busbar 14.
- the n-type region 18 may be grown first on a growth substrate and may include multiple layers of different compositions and dopant concentration including, for example, preparation layers such as buffer layers or nucleation layers, which may be n-type or not intentionally doped, and n- or even p-type device layers designed for particular optical, material, or electrical properties desirable for the light emitting region to efficiently emit light.
- the light emitting or active region 20 is grown over the n-type region. Examples of suitable light emitting regions include a single thick or thin light emitting layer, or a multiple quantum well light emitting region including multiple thin or thick light emitting layers separated by barrier layers.
- the p-type region 22 may then be grown over the light emitting region. Like the n-type region, the p-type region may include multiple layers of different composition, thickness, and dopant concentration, including layers that are not intentionally doped, or n-type layers.
- a reflective back contact 24 is disposed beneath the entire semiconductor structure 15, in contact with p-type region 22.
- the reflective back contact 24 may be a multilayer metal structure and may include, for example, one or more of an ohmic layer, a reflective layer, and a guard layer. Any suitable metals or other conductive materials may be used. Silver may be used as the reflective layer.
- the growth substrate is removed, exposing a surface of the n-type region 18 on which the busbars 14 and bonding pads 16 may be formed. Because the busbar 14 is often absorbing of light, in the region beneath the busbar 14, a current blocking structure is formed to prevent the active region 20 from emitting light. For example, the active region 20 may be removed as illustrated in Fig. 2, or otherwise prevented from emitting light. Otherwise, current injected from metal busbar 14 would cause light to be preferentially generated directly beneath the busbar 14, where it would likely be absorbed by the optically lossy busbar 14, rather than extracted from the device.
- a portion of active region 20 is removed and replaced with a mirror 26 which is disposed upon or is part of contact 24.
- Current injected by the busbar 14 into n-type region 18 must travel laterally, as indicated by arrows 28, where it is injected into the active region 20 in an area that is not occluded by busbar 14.
- Any light reflected by mirror 26 into busbar 14 may be absorbed (37a) and may create heat, which may reduce the efficiency of the device.
- the busbar 14 may be characterized by a transfer length Lt, which is equal to the square root of the specific resistance of the busbar 14, divided by the sheet resistance in the semiconductor material in contact with busbar 14.
- Lt transfer length
- the width 30 of busbar 14 is no more than 2L t , since current does not spread beyond that length.
- the busbar geometry is limited by manufacturing technology.
- busbar conductivity is limited, so width and height of the busbar must be large enough to evenly distribute current through the die area and to keep the forward voltage Vf low. Accordingly, the width of the busbar may be larger than 2Lt due to manufacturing limitations and current carrying needs. The large area, absorbing busbars may reduce the efficiency of the device.
- At least a portion of the interface between the busbar and the semiconductor structure is made reflective, to reduce absorption by the busbars.
- Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the invention.
- a metal busbar 14 is disposed on the n-type region 18 of a semiconductor structure 15.
- the current blocking structure is a mirror 26, formed directly beneath busbar 14.
- a first portion 32a, 32b of metal busbar 14 is in direct contact with the n-type region 18.
- a reflector 36 is disposed between a second portion 34 of the metal busbar 14 and the semiconductor structure 15.
- the first portion may have a width L t and may be disposed on either side of the second portion 34 e.g. first portion may be divided into two sub-portions 32a, 32b where each sub-portion 32a, 32b is disposed on either side of second portion 34 when the busbar cross-section is viewed along its long axis.
- the first portion 32a, 32b of the metal busbar 14 in direct contact with the semiconductor structure may be a material that makes excellent electrical contact to the semiconductor material regardless of reflectivity, such as, for example AuZn, AuGe, or any other suitable material.
- the total width of busbar 14 in direct contact with the semiconductor material is at least 2L t (e.g., the two sub-portions 32a, 32b, are each of width Lt,), therefore the busbar 14 is substantially electrically equivalent to the structure illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the total width of busbar 14 in direct contact with the semiconductor is at least 10 ⁇ and no more than 20 ⁇ .
- the reflector 36 may be a reflective material. Suitable reflective materials include a reflective metal such as Au or Ag, a non-metallic material such as an insulator, a low refractive index dielectric material such as S1O2 and/or a thin film distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), or combinations thereof. Reflector 36 is often an insulator or a very poor conductor, such that no current flows in the region of reflector 36, though this is not required - a conductive material that is sufficiently reflective may be used. Light incident on reflector 36, rather than being absorbed, may be reflected between mirror 26 and reflector 36, until it reaches a semiconductor/air interface where it may be extracted, as indicated by rays 38a- 38g.
- rays 38a- 38g Light incident on reflector 36, rather than being absorbed, may be reflected between mirror 26 and reflector 36, until it reaches a semiconductor/air interface where it may be extracted, as indicated by rays 38a- 38g.

- the center, first portion 32 may have a width of at least 2Lt.
- Each portion 34a, 34b includes a reflector portion 36a, 36b respectively.
- regions 40a, 40b of the active region 20 may be an area of high intensity light generation, as it is the area of the active region that is closest to the busbar 14, where current is injected. In some embodiments, it may be preferable to divide the second portion so that the reflectors 36a, 36b may be placed closest to regions 40a, 40b, as in Fig. 4, rather than the absorbing first portion 32, as in Fig. 3, in order to reduce the likelihood of photons emitted in regions 40a, 40b being absorbed.

- Fig. 5 shows that a portion of the light 42 escaping from the semiconductor structure 15 into the air just outside the busbar 14 may be coupled back in to the semiconductor structure through reflector 36 if the reflector 36 is made from transparent dielectric material.

- the peak to peak width of each feature may be at least 0.5 ⁇ in some embodiments, no more than 2 ⁇ in some embodiments, and no more than 1 ⁇ in some embodiments.
- the texturing may be formed by lithography, mechanical processes such as grinding, or any other suitable process, before forming the reflector.
